Yes, all these noocular opportunities depress us but there is worse, apparently : washingtonpost.com "According to one molecular biologist who should know, there are already 20,000 labs in the world where a single person will be able to synthesize any existing virus within the next decade. In the same 20,000 labs, five people with $2 million will be able to create an enhanced pathogen -- meaning a virus that could infect people who have been immunized with conventional vaccines -- and kill perhaps a billion of them." OK, it would kill most of your family and friends too but if you're hellbent and suicidal in a big way... It gives me that Darwinistic chill up my spine.... Maybe we are not so well "fitted" after all. As Murphy said: "If anything can go wrong, it will" , or something like that Or, Why can't we all just get along? , like Rodney said. Lars
